How to use certificate file for SSH/SFTP connection?

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a SFTP connection in UEX 16.1.0.18 and on Ubuntu 16.04. This works from the command line. But I don't know how to configure it in UE.

From the command line I normally enter: sftp hostname

In my .ssh directory is a configuration file with the following lines:

Code: Select all

Host hostname
    User myusername
    HostName remotehostname
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/cert.pem

This is basically a shortcut for typing sftp -i ~/.ssh/cert.pem myusername@remotehostname from the command line.

Any idea on how to set this up in the UE SFTP connections?

Thanks,
jjd

Figured it out.

In the SSH settings, choose option for Public/Private Key Only.
Put path to certificate file in Private Key Path.
Leave Public Key Path empty.
